CONTROVERSIAL CALIFORNIA BILL EXEMPTS PUBLIC SCHOOLS FROM SEX ABUSE LAWSUITS
Big Government ^ | 7-10-2013

Posted on 07/10/2013 12:36:32 PM PDT by markomalley

California Senate Bill 131, which is ostensibly about protecting victims of child sex abuse, forces private schools to defend claims of sexual abuse as far back as 40 years ago, but exempts public schools from such claims. Because of the Democratic super-majorities in both houses of California, there is no way to stop the passage of the bill.

As Valerie Schmalz wrote in Catholic San Francisco:

The California state Senate narrowly approved a waiver of the statute of limitations for child sex abuse damage lawsuits – a bill that could have a devastating effect on nonprofits including Catholic Charities and Catholic schools while exempting public employers. The legislation, SB 131, would force private schools to defend claims that may be 40 years old but forbid victims from suing any public school for abuse that may have occurred before 2009, the California Council of Nonprofit Organizations said.

She quoted Ned Doleisi, executive director of the California Catholic Conference, adding, "To add insult to injury, SB 131 even protects the actual abuser from being sued – the only claims that are revived are against private employers and nonprofit organizations.”

Of course, I see absolutely no problem here. After all, good union public school teachers are never involved with abuse...

The correct term is democrat super-majority; not democratic super-majority. The last thing on earth these people are is democratic.

In public schools only the hot young female teachers enjoy special private health classes with young teenage male students.

They wonder why we are cynical about the political process. THIS IS A DIRECT GIFT TO UNIONS. Unions give a lot of money to democrats.

This is a “get even with the Catholic Church” law pushed by the gay lobby. Plain and simple.

C’mon. That’s an easy one. There is no sexual abuse in government schools. < /rimshot>

Not good. Sounds like the teachers' union got involved.

title of the article sounds good.. when i read it, i thought, “cool, now the ABUSER will actually have to pay” that’s how it should be.. then the more i read into the article, the more angry it makes me- it even specifically protects the (public school) abuser. wrong on so many levels.

ever watch the threads about female teachers who abuse boys, and the subsequent comments of "guilty!" or "not guilty!"

there's always the indignant females that get on and try to chastise us for those comments, but if you follow outcomes, we probably between 95-99% accurate- the "not guilty" teachers barely get a slap on the wrist. it's not us guys being sexist, we're being realists.

Take it to court.

There is no legal basis for exempting public schools.

So are the Democrats going to display the fact that they are NAMBLA friendly?

Will it be part of their platform for 2014 and 2016?

paging Justice Kennedy...are you out there? Surely if DOMA was a violation of the constitutional guaranty of equal protection, surely this arbitrary attack on catholic institutions must be as well, right?

[crickets]

Oh I forgot, Christians and Christian institutions have no constitutional rights anymore.

Union money to Rats bought an exemption to child molestation.

So ... do you think it’s OK for your wife to be “going down” on 13 year old boys at the local middle school?
